a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power

-Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.                                                                                                                 

2. The Righteous Kind of Men are not Arrogant [v. 13-16]

 II. THE RIGHTEOUS KIND OF FAITH [v. 17-18]

1. The Righteous Kind of Faith is Personal [v. 17, Rm. 10:9]

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

2. The Righteous Kind of Faith is Loyal [v. 17-18, Rm. 10:10-13]

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

3. The Righteous Kind of Faith is Biblical

[v.17-18, Rm. 10:17, Heb. 11:6]

- So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
